Whenever i click on the banner instead of loading new member page it just says access denied. Is anyone else having this? Cant be good for new members signing up

That only happens when logged in btw. Just tried it logged out and worked fine

Yeah I clicked on it accidentally and it said denied

It's designed that way. We changed the layout so the the first section at the top of the forums is telling you how to become a full member. Once you've joined up then there's no need to scroll past a section that isn't relevant to you so it's set as invisble for full members.

As Chris said. It's to make sure unnecessary sections are dropped when not required.

Good idea

Makes sense
